Writing in Source mode

Switch to Source in the header to edit the frontmatter and the Markdown directly. A save there checks the version like the canvas does, so two people never overwrite each other.

Shortcuts
The same keyboard shortcuts work in Source mode and on the canvas, so nothing new is needed to switch between them.
- ⌘K opens the search; with text selected it adds a link.
- ⌘S saves.
